Poem Title:
Poem
Back in upstate New York she was a girl with stars in her eyes She hopped a freight out westward And tried Vegas on for size Off strip hotels, little shows Young Delores danced with glee She was working in Las Vegas the home of Jubilee "Do you have a minute folks?' "Do you need tickets for a show?" "Will you be in town tonight?" "There's a place you need to go" "Will you be in town tomorrow?" "We could send you for a meal" "You just have to see our condo's" "It's a real fantastic deal" Twenty years upon the strip Wearing fruit baskets on her head Delores was a showgirl Even though the shows were dead She danced backup for lounge singers She was with Wayne Newton for a while She still had all the attributes That made the tourists smile "Do you have a minute folks?' "Do you need tickets for a show?" "Will you be in town tonight?" "There's a place you need to go" "Will you be in town tomorrow?" "We could send you for a meal" "You just have to see our condo's" "It's a real fantastic deal" Time went by as it always does Her body said "No more" Dancing in the big time shows Had made her body sore Options down in Vegas For ex-showgirls were not good But she wasn't going east again Even though folks said she should "Do you have a minute folks?' "Do you need tickets for a show?" "Will you be in town tonight?" "There's a place you need to go" "Will you be in town tomorrow?" "We could send you for a meal" "You just have to see our condo's" "It's a real fantastic deal" She didn't have the hands for dealing The casino was her second home But, she didn't want to waitress She was just too old to roam But in Vegas, there's a sub trade One she had the smile for She could still work in the casinos And help get people through the door "Do you have a minute folks?' "Do you need tickets for a show?" "Will you be in town tonight?" "There's a place you need to go" "Will you be in town tomorrow?" "We could send you for a meal" "You just have to see our condo's" "It's a real fantastic deal" Selling timeshares to the folks Who come in all the time They could get free shows and dinners And it wouldn't cost a dime Delores was still a show girl But, it was not the same by far But, she was still selling in Vegas And Delores was still a star "Do you have a minute folks?' "Do you need tickets for a show?" "Will you be in town tonight?" "There's a place you need to go" "Will you be in town tomorrow?" "We could send you for a meal" "You just have to see our condo's" "It's a real fantastic deal"...
